    Colt Excalibur??

    I know I just have a warm place in my heart for what was my very first export radio and realizing there was a whole new world outside of the legal 40. I am serious though when I say it had a wonderful receiver to listen to for long periods of time with low fatuque. It was dead center on...

    Sirio 827 base antennae issue

    No DC grounded will not smoke an amp. A test between the center pin and ground will basically show what you seen or what some would call a DEAD SHORT" The length measurements given by sirio are relative starting point to get you close to a low SWR on 11 meters with some tweaking. There is no...

    Does anyone remember Dr Rigor mortis?

    I originally sold these to the person that later sold them on eBay. I sold them to him on eBay in the late 90's. I had every addition ever printed. I had caught the listing on eBay you had seen and I realized they had been the ones I sold as they had been in the exact binder I sold them...

    Does anyone remember Dr Rigor mortis?

    His newsletters on 11 meters taught me a lot. I really looked forward to getting the next one in the mail. His last newsletter was in regards to a $10,000 monetary forfeiture from the FCC he did not have. And that was the end of his newsletter for 11 meters.
